Working

by Robert A. Caro

But, as year followed year, the project had, in my mind, taken on an air of unreality. In part, this was due to the lack of any relationship between writing the book and the inescapable realities of the rest of life, such as earning a living.

.tk so how many yearsxdid it take caro to write the book? doubt was strong. Had he lost his way? What if he gave into the doubt? And quit? instead he praxticed mcphee's interstitial writing -- which ultimately drowned out the doubt. Or set it aside long enough every day to sit down and write.
